Manage Orders Layout

[TOC]

Overview

The Manage Orders layout is a front-end view designed for agents and property managers. It displays all booking orders associated with their properties and allows them to take management actions without needing access to the Joomla back-end.

Menu Item Type: OS Calendar → Agent: Orders Management

Who Can Access This View

Access to this view is controlled by Joomla's user group permissions. Typically this view is linked to a menu item that is visible only to users in the Agent or Manager group. End customers should use the My Orders layout instead.
